Brother, May I Love You?
Chapter 9

Dhika tapped her feet under the table. Feeling nervous about something that will happen soon. Ryan, his assistant and college friend used to notice his unusual behavior. But Ryan knows why.

"What time are the people you've been waiting for coming?"

"Hour nine"

"Two hours left"

"Yes"

"Do I have to cancel all my work today?"

"no need. Looks like I won't be well received by Zanna today"

"But you still want to see him?"

"I have to tell him something"

An apology and will from his father that Dhika kept for ten years.

"You brother didn't take it?"

Sure. Seeing how Bi Tia had refused her ten-year visit confirmed that Zanna would do the same.

"I have to keep trying. At least now Zanna's here. Closer to me than Bi Tia"

"I'm Zanna. I'll slap you when I meet"

The corner of Dhika's lips lifted, agreeing with Ryan's words. If Zanna had done that, she would have accepted it sincerely.

He waited quietly in his car as a young woman with one suitcase and two plastic bags full of food stood there. In front of the house where Zanna grew up. But the woman did not look like the Zannya she had known before. The woman is too.. skinny and white. Dhika got down from the car trying to look closer and heard the sound of crying from the woman who entered the yard. That convinced him that the new woman was really Zanna. She waited for Zanna to finish crying and then ventured to get closer.

When Dhika handed over the key, she could only see the woman within one meter. Long hair, white skin, smooth face and slim body. Isn't this Zanna? His sister who used to leave Malang and never seen him again until now? Why can Zanna turn out to be so .. beautiful? Dhika felt her legs limp, her lips tightly closed but her eyes could not stop staring at Zanna. Indeed, Zanna's face looks plain without makeup, but women like that is what Dhika likes. Liked? Is he thinking clearly now? Why could he think of the word 'like' to Zanna?

The door closes hard in front of her, making Dhika realize that Zanna is not accepting her arrival. Very unaccepting but hearing Zanna keep calling him sister, made him happy. He would not give up apologizing because now Zanna was close to him. The Malang city. Feeling hopeless to see her sister again, Dhika decides to just leave. Back to work in the office as well as rum, he was in Malang.

"You met him?" ryan asked when he had just walked into the office. Dhika did not reply and continued walking all the way to her room. He does not like his personal problems to be known by others. Especially the ten offices. Once inside the room and Ryan followed behind, he was able to tell a story.

"Yes. But Zanna didn't take me well"

"What did he say?"

"Zanna doesn't want to meet an ungrateful person"

"Wahhhh. It seems like he still remembers what happened ten years ago"

"Yes"

How else. Zanna must have clearly remembered how Dhika said rudely to Bi Tia back then. Moreover, Zanna is still very small and has to deal with five adults who look scary.

"But I'll keep coming there. I also have to deliver a will from my father" he said trying to think positively.

"Until when?"

"Two days"

"Make it a day. I don't want Zanna to think that I'm giving up and getting out of life"

"You still love your sister?"

"He's my brother. Of course I love him"

"But you haven't told me how your sister looks now"

Dhika deliberately missed it because she did not want to remember the woman with white skin who showed a sullen face in front of her earlier. Apalagfi had to explain it to Ryan.

"Just like before" he replied lying.

"Then how did he see you?"

"You mean?"

"You haven't seen each other for ten years. Now you're also different from before" Ryan said, then groped his chin. Makes Dhika remember the dense beard and mustache she had ten years ago. How bad his clothes taste.

"No comment whatsoever"

"God. Looks like you're hiding something from me. But I'll let it. Because he's your sister"

Ryan leaves Dhika in his own room. Tonight he will return to that house again. She wanted Zanna to accept her apology very late. But no one opened the door when he returned to the house. The lights inside the house also died like there was no one inside. Where did Zanna go on her first day in Malang? Dhika was forced to wait on the porch of the house for about two hours until he saw the figure of Zanna walking into the gate.

"Where are you?" the question surprised the woman. Zanna immediately showed her face when she saw Dhika.

"Well, come here again" replied his sister as if she didn't care.

Zanna passes by to open the door of the house, then Dhika sees something bothering her. The woman's back was visible to him. Not covered in any fabric.

"Where are you going with this kayak suit?"

Dhika took off her jacket and immediately put it on Zanna's body. Trying to cover his sister's open back.

"What the hell?" Zanna takes off Dhika's jacket and throws it to the ground.

"It's Malang not Jakarta. You can't go out in that shirt!!"

Dhika takes her jacket and puts it again on Zanna's body. This time he held the jacket tightly so that Zanna could not take it off again.

But ... It looks like he can't do this. Because it makes him closer to Zanna. Although the lights on the porch of the house are not too bright, Dhika can see the face of Zanna who met with red. So sweet. And this sweet smell. Not stabbing in Dhika's nose like the smell of other women's perfumes nearby. Suddenly Zanna raised her two hands up and tried to break away from Dhika's restraint. Their bodies were accidentally attracted to each other. Making Dhika's lips touch something smooth and warm. Aware of having kissed Zanna's cheek, Dhika immediately took a step back.

"Go!!!" zanna shouted, throwing Dhika's jacket on the ground and entering the house. This time by slamming the door hard.

Dhika plans to apologize for her wrongdoing ten years ago. But it seems like it added a mistake and probably made Zanna even less willing to see him again. He touched her lips which could still feel the smoothness of Zanna's cheeks. How is he going to apologize to his sister? Desperate, she chose to go home. Take more time so that Zanna can forget what happened tonight.
